Conclusion
The iPhone is not perfect despite what some fanboys or fangirls may try to tell you. There are certainly complaints to be leveled at the iPhone, but for the most part, Apple does much more right than it does wrong. Apple has raised the bar once again with an impressive high resolution display, great HD video capture in your pocket, beautiful hardware design, an operating system that is highly intuitive compared to its contemporaries, and on top of this, impressive performance and usable battery life. The antenna problems are the only real show-stopper for the iPhone 4, but if you put a case on your phone anyway, you’ll be happy to get a free case from Apple which will generally alleviate the issue anyway. I’m content with the upgrades that I’ve seen over the previous iPhone, but I can only hope that Apple will make some change to the iPhone 4 that will fix the antenna problems. I’d rather not put a case on mine.
That notifications system is indeed strange. Well-managed background polling and then a mad scramble to find out what caused the notification!
The notification system does indeed baffle me, i don’t need to be interupted and told i have lost network connection, it’s so annoying.
good review. i love my new 4. facebook is great. the wifi and gps are great for my business and keeping in touch with my clients. great unlocked mobile phones. the facebook and camera are great for my family and keeps my kids busy on the road and on slow days. the web browser is really fun for my fantasy football it’s easy to navigate around. much better than my old unlocked blackberry phones. the processor is faster and the phone feels great, texting and emailing isn’t too bad for being a touch screen. got my cell phone unlock codes and phone unlocking for free as well!! got my last couple 4’s at unlockthatphone.com very happy with em.
